My Mamma Said

[Verse 1]
This is where it started
All back in school
I had to struggle to fit in and be cool
Pass me that joint, pass me that bottle
Being reckless and dumb was our motto

But who would have known that the music will get me
Will get me yeah yeah yeaaahhhh
Running through my veins and I just can't help it
But that's when my mamma said

[Chorus]
My mamma said you need work real hard
Just focus on your studies and the rest will pay off
Time will come when you reach the top one day
Take my advice and listen to what I'm about to say

[Verse 2]
Campus life
Got qualified
Finding a job would make me satisfied
Partying all night, sleeping all day
Ticking the boxes of life day by day

But who would have known that the music will get me
Will get me yeah yeah yeaaahhhh
Running through my veins and I just can't help it
But that's when my mamma said

[Chorus]
My mamma said go get a real job
You need to make some money and stop being a heart throb
Settle down and go raise a family
Living a simple life is the way its s'pposed to be

[Rap]
Hey mamma, let me tell u somethin'
Im'ma make it on my own 2 feet
Promise you, I'll be cool, make you proud
Ain't no telling where we go, we be chasin' those dreams
Hooked up with my boy Paul Banks
We give it all that we got in the tank
Gonna push it till my face goes red
Should I have listened to what mamma said

[Chorus]
My mamma said go get a real job
You need to make some money and stop being a heart throb
Settle down and go raise a family
Living a simple life is the way its s'pposed to be (x2)
